Many on the Left in America want the U.S. to become more like the governments in Europe. That means socialized medicine and more governmental control of industry and society.
Despite requisite heavy spending and taxation for this European-style socialism, the only budgetary savings can come with defense issues. And slowly but surely, the Obama Administration and Congress will be giving Americans this touch of Europe by reducing defense expenditures.
You would think the folks overseas would all eventually be pleased with this honor. However, Europeans may not fully realize it, but the more America acts like them, the less secure Europe becomes.
Europeans spend very little on defense, compared to the U.S. We are the ones they always have been able to rely on. In other words, we have been paying for their defense without much outlay on their part all these years.
Who will defend Europe if the U.S.A. also cuts its defenses to the bone?
The best most of their armed forces can now deliver is meals-on-wheels.
